Muslim feminist?

[edit]

I've deleted the words "Muslim feminist" in the characterization of Naamane Guessous, because the Wikipedia entry for Muslim feminism says: "Advocates of the movement seek to highlight the deeply rooted teachings of equality in the religion, and encourage a questioning of the patriarchal interpretation of Islamic teaching through the Qur'an (holy book), hadith (sayings of Muhammad) and sharia (law)". I've read Naamane Guessous' book and a few interviews and I think she's never advocated to question the patriarchal aspects of islam THROUGH the Qur'an. I think like most Moroccan feminist she advocates women's rights from a secular viewpoint, not a religious one. If she did, a source is needed. Ilyacadiz (talk) 10:28, 17 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure that's necessarily correct, the linked article discusses a specific type of feminism, but one may still be both a Muslim and a feminist without specifically ascribing to the positions described therein.219.88.68.195 (talk) 23:17, 11 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
